Heh.
Options: the deal, let Iran do whatever the fuck it wants, or bomb them back to the Stone Age. Which one is the best option?

There are many military options short of bombing them into the stone age, or in a way going beyond that to invasion and regime removal. There are also economic sanctions, diplomatic sanctions as well.
Despite all that, the deal is probably the best option, at this time, but there are other options.
Just let Israel do it. They are the ones most under threat. The Sunni Gulf States will give them a flyover corridor (They don't want Iran getting nukes either). Let them knockout the enrichment plants and set their program back years. The world community already dislikes Israel anyway. They're not trying to win a popularity contest.
Literally all that does is make Iran even determined to defend itself as well as pissing the entire Arab world off, inspiring more terrorism and violence. We should be solving problems through diplomacy, not blowing up everything. If I recall, military action hasn't worked so well in the Middle East.

Not to knock Diplomacy down, but military action has actually been very effective in the Middle East compared to Diplomacy.
1948 - Israel saved its existence through military force after being invaded by five Arab countries.
1967 - Israel wins 6 Day war defeating Arab forces before their invasion.
1973 - Israel wins Yom Kipper war defeating Syria and Egyptian forces threatening Israel.
1991 - United States and Coalition Allies defeat Iraq in the 1991 Gulf War removing Iraqi military from Kuwait and liberating the country from its recent annexation and occupation by Iraq.
2001 - U.S. invades Afghanistan and removes the Taliban government there.
2003 - Saddam is removed from power by U.S. led coalition invasion.
2007 - U.S. military surge defeats many insurgents in Iraq and reduces violence throughout the country helping to bring about greater stability.
2011 - U.S. military action kills Bin Ladin in Pakistan
For Diplomacy the only big and decisive success has been the Camp David Accords started in 1978 and leading to the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt in 1979.
The middle east is a rough neighborhood and there is not going to be a diplomatic solution to ISIS and what is left of Al Quada. But Diplomacy could play a key role in ending fighting between certain factions in Syria and getting the Assad regime to step down. Diplomacy could also help put Yemen back together and keep Iraq and Afghanistan from internally splitting apart.

Its not the only option and keeping Saddam in power to oppose Iran would have been as smart as keeping Hitler in power to oppose the Soviet Union.
Fuck Jeb Bush.
He said the best way to jumpstart the economy is to have people work more hours. The United States, he's talking about. The most overworked country on the planet.
I'm sure that's how it will be explained away, but that's not what he said, and that's a very distorted portrait of our current economy you painted right there.
How in the bluest of blue hells are businesses supposed to afford to pay for all this extra labor?
Employers need the money to pay their employees with before the employees can go spend that money on consumer goods.
